All too often labs shopping for benchtop research-grade autoclaves end up being sold either a glorified pressure cooker or a low-end tabletop medical steriliser.  The former lack the programmable controls a lab needs (in fact, they often lack even the rudimentary controls of a toaster oven). The latter are made with lightweight plumbing, pressure vessels, and electrical systems that aren’t up to research tasks. Since they were originally intended for dental offices and other clinics, their control systems are often limited to a few pre-programmed, medical type cycles. “Low-cost” dental-style benchtop autoclaves used for daily research tasks often begin to break down in just 24 months, and rarely last longer than five years.

You can be small of stature without being a pip-squeak or pushover. Gallenkamp’s benchtop autoclaves pack the performance and quality construction of a full-size, freestanding industrial autoclave into a footprint that fits any workspace. A quality research-grade benchtop autoclave offers all the flexibility, ease-of-use, and reliability that a small lab needs. Our compact tabletop units offer plug-n-play simplicity but come with fully featured programmable control systems. They are perfect for media prep, liquid, and waste loads. A great fit for shared facilities and education.
